Delete Error
What this means
You're trying to delete a project that is currently open in another browser tab, window, or device. To prevent data loss or conflicts, MindMap AI doesn't allow deletion of actively edited projects.
How to resolve
- Close the project in any other browser tabs or devices
- If you're unsure where it's open, log out of all sessions and log in again before retrying

- You can edit or rename it without affecting the original
- The original project remains unchanged
4. Project Deleted Successfully
What this means
The selected project was successfully removed from your workspace and is now permanently deleted.
What to expect
